Have you worried about what others think about you?
“The greatest prison that live in as fear of what other
people think “
“What if my boss saw me do xyz and starts thinking less
of me?”
“My brother-in-law made a snide remark about our cousin,
what if he talks badly about me as well?”
“I overheard my mom saying I look fat in that dress, I
feel terrible.”
Other people’s opinions can wreak havoc on our self
esteem. We take their judgements at face value and allow a careless remark to
torture us for a long time.
To some degree, the attitudes in our most important
social groups provide orientation and structure. It’s not that we shouldn’t
care about anybody’s opinion at all. But we also shouldn’t let somebody
dominate our mental well being.
Self doubt is one of the most destructive forces for our
sense of self. If another person plants the seed of self doubt in our minds and
we get stuck in it, we may very well end up in a depression.
When you feel the effects of someone else’s words get to
you, put up an mental barrier around yourself. Imagine a protective shield go
up that prevents any negative influence from getting to you.
If it gets out of hand, remove yourself from the source
of negativity.
Remember, it’s nothing but a person’s opinion. We give
others authority over whether their remark get through to us. We have the power
to reject them or allow them to find their way in.
Look at the larger picture. Considering the sphere of
your town, your country, our whole planet, one small person’s words mean
nothing.
Imagine you are an astronaut, looking back at the earth
from space. This view renders all chatter, all the self importance of small
minds meaningless.
It’s up to you what you want to do with it.
